Material model proposal for biodegradable materials
Procedia Engineering, 2011 AbstractA large range of biodegradable polymers are used in many products with short life cycle. Important applications of these are found in the biomedical field, where biodegradable materials are used to produce scaffolds that temporarily replace the biomechanical functions of a biologic tissue, while it progressively regenerates its capacities ...
